5.1 General
General safety regulations for handling the equipment can be found in the "SAFETY"
chapter of this manual and the "SAFETY" chapter of the manual for the power source.
Read it through before you start using the equipment!
Cooling unit EC1000 automatically starts when welding starts. After welding has stopped,
cooling continues for a few minutes after which the cooling unit enters energy save mode.
5.2 Connections and control devices
1. Connection BLUE for coolant from cooling
unit
3. Coolant filling
2. Connection RED for coolant (return) to
cooling unit
4. Connection to power source (interface
cable)
5.3 Coolant connection
For problem free operation it is recommended that the height from the cooling unit to the
water-cooled TIG torch is a maximum of 8 m. When connecting a TIG torch it should be in
the same height as the cooling unit to let the coolant quickly spread through the system.
NOTE!
After connecting a torch, check that the coolant level is correct. When adjusting
the coolant level by topping up, the coolant hoses do not need to be
disconnected.
5.4 ELP (ESAB Logic Pump)
The cooling unit is equipped with a detection system called ELP (ESAB Logic Pump) which
checks that the coolant hoses are connected. When connecting a water-cooled TIG torch,
cooling starts.
